B-Pentasaccharide is a class of biochemical reagents used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It involves carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine, and biotechnology[1].
ChEBI: (2S,3S,4R,5S,6S)-2-[(3R,4R,5R,6R)-2,3-Dihydroxy-5-[(2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-5-hydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-4-[(2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxy-3-[(2S,3S,4R,5S,6S)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxyoxan-2-yl]oxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-4-yl]oxy-6-methyloxane-3,4,5-triol is an oligosaccharide.
